Fonts.com Makes Impact
Oh, I’d cut ITC some slack, Grant. They look very hip next to its mother corp who saw fit to use this beauty for their logo.
Agfa Monotype board meeting...
Suit 1: Now, for the Fonts.com logo... Thanks to our recent acquisitions of Monotype and ITC we’ve got more than 8,000 faces to choose from. Let’s show designers we understand and respect them. Let’s choose a font with some punch. What’s it gunna be, gentlemen?
Suit 2: Impact!
Suit 1: Brilliant. Give that man a raise and put him in charge of the site.

If their latest marketing holds any truth, ITC has been the source of “the coolest typefaces for 35 years”. Apparently, they’re also responsible for one of the lamest banner ads right now. This particular gem was found front and centre at MacNN. Of course, the mere sight of sunglasses dangling from the crossbar of any character always turns this window shopper into a customer.
